Student Leaders

African-American Connections
The African-American Fall and Spring Connection events were created to develop and foster a
supportive, academically-engaged community of African-American students. By connecting
students with peers, faculty, staff, and administrators committed to their success, we are
setting the foundation for continued and intentional engagement throughout the academic
year as well as connecting students with resources and support early on during their programs.
